In my SSMS, tabs headers don't display when query is currently executing. It is especially difficult when I have multiple tabs open. How to set it up to display it ? My version is 2008 R2 x64 EE. I tried Tools/Options but nothing I could find for this.

I have never had to set anything to get that to display, it just always has done that for me. I would check to see if there are any service packs or updates available that apply to the client tools and apply those to your workstation to see if it was a bug that was fixed.
